I had an opportunity to listen to the CD of The Baby Grands today. The Baby Grands is a musical trio based in Atlanta. Their members are Donn Todd, Ben Rowell and Marc Castelo. These guys came up with cool songs that are fun for both kids and adults. It is not the typical children's CD that drives parents crazy during a long car ride. I was listening to this CD with my daughter in my car and was pretty pleased with the music. My two daughters and I enjoyed listening every song that was on the CD. Our favorite song so far is called “Sugar Makes Me Logo”.

These guys are parents themselves so I think they really captured what other parents were looking for in children's music. The Baby Grands songs are fun & inspirational. I highly recommend this CD to the other moms and dads out there.

I hope that everyone enjoys The Baby Grands as much as I do! Enjoy
 

Yes, it's a healthy baby girl!  My baby girl was born on Tuesday, February 10, 2009. She weighed 7 lb. 1 oz. and 21 inches long. I wanted to write about my baby right away on this blog, but I was not able to do anything due to a spinal headache that was caused by my epidural during the delivery.  I had an extra procedure done called an epidural blood patch one day after the delivery to correct the problem. I was also told by my anesthesiologist not to do much for a few days after this procedure was done. The epidural blood patch was very painful, but it was an instant fix for my headache. It was worth having the procedure done. I never want to experience that headache again. My oldest daughter has been very happy having her little sister around and she has been a big helper for both me and my husband. My oldest became sick 2 days after my baby and I came home but she is recovering and getting well. With the oldest being sick and us taking care of our new baby, our household has been going crazy. Overall, we are quickly adjusting to our new life. It's been 12 days since my baby was born and I am finally starting to feel like I have more energy to do stuff.

My gosh, I only have 10 more days to go until my due date. I never thought that this day would ever come. For those of you who have been sending me emails, I am truly sorry for not replying..... I have been very sick with this pregnancy and I just can't keep up with the amount of email that I receive each day. Two weeks ago, I basically failed my non-stress test and I was sent right to the hospital for extra monitoring. Thank God that there was nothing wrong with the baby and I was released within 2 hours. I am still battling with anemia & gestational diabetes and I just can't wait this whole pregnancy to be over. Wish me luck everyone for me to have a healthy baby soon. Thanks!
